Just confirming is this bumble foot

[Flora2000]

So I’ve been treating this bug bump as bumble foot but idk if it is there’s no scab to pick at and it hasn’t gone away even if I’ve been testing it can anyone just identify if it is bumble foot ?

Bumblefoot doesn't always have a plug that is visible. Sometimes it's under the skin, like in your case. So e cases aren't always a easy to remove plug, but more obtained with the flesh. I discovered each case tends to be different. You probably need antibiotics to treat that and a visit to the vet to open that up and remove what may be there.

I see a specialist who told me once that if you don't remove all the infection, it will just keep coming back. And it can spread to the bone. I noticed the antibiotics helps prevent it from spreading and actually helps create this gunk material that can be removed. Like the body is trying to expell it.

Soaks help with inflammation and bringing it to the surface. But it is also important that once it is removed, that you have to keep the wound clean and provide very soft flooring so that the constant impact doesn't cause it to come back. I cut pool noodles out (in the duck foot shape) and then vet wrap it under my duck's foot when they are being treated for bumblefoot. Every day I change the bandage, soak, give a new pool noodle cutout and add special ointment. (In cases that need it, antibiotics).

I notice that their feet heal soo much faster with this technique. The wound isn't open to a nasty dirty bandage and acts like a platform cushion lift (which will happen very fast since ducks walk in their poop, etc).

Ahh thank you so much I’ll try that then I’m not sure about going to the vet I’m in college so I don’t have a big amount of income so I’ll have to do my best and find an alternative but thank you so much
